Legacy Deluxe STRONGARM: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@chadderbug7587]

"I like a woman who can benchpress me." Mascot is a man of fine taste.

[@Yeetus-yc1vy]

Indeed he is

[@SVNBob]

It's very "Markiplier about Lady Dimitrescu" energy.

[@pokeprime94]

Fembots not only get clear weapons, but usually the peg is a thin one that doesn’t work well with a hand with defined fingers like Arcee had. It’s really weird that they think the fembots need lighter weight guns by being clear with thin handles.

[@miguelybarra5126]

“You have law enforcement written all over you.”

[@kenj0165]

Is that something you really want now in 2023.

[@storm5936]

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over that this is just a retool of Elita-1, it really is impressive how Hastak can do such impressive retools like this Man, the "Evo-Fusion" gimmick truly is half-assed

[@skyyswaggstudios2934]

It’s such a funny gimmick because it isn’t even real, they just slap it on what they can, and half the time it’s just the fact that they can hold their own weapon lol. Like I don’t know why they even bothered with evo fusion name if they weren’t gonna do an actual gimmick for the line

[@GinjeetX]

When they announced her, I didn't like this figure, she wasn't as beefy as she looked in the show and also I wished she had her own mold, but the moreI see of her the more I like her. I'm definitely picking her up Great video as always!

[@Gojiraman2005]

I wonder how Prowl would feel about Strongarm on city patrol with him.

[@foldabotZ]

A comic about the exploits of all the police-themed Transformers(including Barricade as the evil/corrupt cop) would be great. Make it a Buddy Cop comedy, in the vein of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or even a semi-serious one like DC's Gotham Central.

[@ashtonarroyo5487]

​@@foldabotZor maybe like a law and order like show, or like a Chicago show. Like the transformers could investigate cybertronian crimes and stuff

[@alekesam]

On my display, I have her posed with Prowl and Sentinel Prime. Her being a rookie under a IDW-like Prowl (who used...questionable tactics...to get things done) and Sentinel (who outright is immoral) would be like a good angel and bad angel on Prowl's shoulders.

[@grooveninja7996]

Picked her up recently from CMD Store. She's a sweet little figure, and I like the changes to the mold that they made for her. Her color, posability, and plastic feel is very nice.

[@hanzouteacher2674]

I had no idea this version existed lol , thank you emgo

[@Qublidon]

LOL! I love how she goes in grabs Prime! The sound effect really adds on. You should make the final skits their own videos too! Like “Just TransformIt” they are awesome and I always look forward for them!

[@39Hundred]

Emgo, one of these days, you gotta show us your entire collection. 👍🏼

[@nucleonegro9762]

Wonder if we'll get more figures from RID 2001, the Prime from that anime was the 2nd one to have a super mode

[@catjazzhappycat7273]

I'm hoping we get more RID characters in Legacy.

[@pugwash1]

so far we have towline and a potineal sideburn thanks to shadow striker

[@cyberdude4]

Bro, we have RID01 Scourge and Towline.

[@zazaranger5]

Actually the first one

[@redfinale]

I would love a 2001 RID Prime. Not only his super mode, but give us the accompanying Ultra Magnus so we can get Omega Prime.

[@marcbrunson6986]

I've always wondered just how many female characters there are and which actually got toys made of them. There are a lot even just for the toys. I think it's cool to see the female characters produced. I'm still hoping to get my hands on the big girl bot. Whole lotta Nemesis ha ha. She's definitely on my list and the new Shadow Striker.

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

The more I see of this figure the more I like it.❤️

[@stravvberryheart]

Omg, you still have the same format as years prior, i love it!!!!

[@Teh_Spirit]

She is not too bad and while some parts are not as chunky as her original counterpart i think it is not actually too far off when you atleast compare it to the animation model and obviously the original toy is also a bit chunkier than her animation model, it is also just that she will feel smaller than she actually is due to the scale of that deluxe mold

[@Prime90-e5e]

Thanks for the review

[@Technodreamer]

You know, she's a Wrecker in at least one continuity. Maybe I'll just give her my Smashdown so she has a worthy weapon...

[@RHM087]

I was lucky to find the original for a decent price with her perma-blooshed blaster and pre-applied Reprolabels at a local toy convention; the remake looks cool but not an essential

[@ToaDrakua]

Kind of sucks that unless a fembot is a recolor/remold of a male character, they get defaulted into a slender build with an overabundance of kibble.

[@ShinGallon]

Same, Mascot, same...

[@leonigama5597]

good job about Legacy Deluxe Class STRONGARM Action Figure from Transformers

[@JamesMosesJr]

Strong Arm looks good

[@Ezilla82]

Look up in the sky it's Super Prime!!! WOOSH!!! My bad seeing Strongarm hoisting Prime like it just came to me.

[@monsterforge884]

I don't get why people say she's supposed to be so big and beefy... in the show she was smaller than Bumblebee and around the same size as Sideswipe if not slightly smaller... the only things really beefy about her were the shoulders, and that was mostly due to them housing the wheels. Now, the toy of Strongarm was really beefy and was actually off model for the show design in several ways. I think this version from Legacy looks pretty good and carries the look of the animation model quite well.

[@vixune]

Had to go back and watch a few scenes from the show. Went Toy-blind :P But yeah, she wasn't super beefy, but more... muscular? The Legacy one does look good, but it doesn't feel quite right. Like the alt mode doesn't look tall enough, the bot mode proportions don't quite look right. Still gonna get her if I see her in the wild, I've no idea where my 2015 one went

[@teamprimeknockout9671]

Strong arm isn't buff, yes, but the shoulder pads add some law enforcement intimidation, and I think she's meant to be lean and impactful. I think the door wings are placed a bit low in bot mode and pads are a bit high up, but it's definitely a solid figure, given it's a heavy remold.

[@CHARIZARD1926]

I love a woman that can benchpress me is so funny. Mascot is so funny and cool. 😂😂😂 Lol and OMG. I can't stop laughing. 😂😂😂 Mascot is a legend and is the goat of intos. 😂😂😂 Mascot is a man of taste and culture.

[@RatAndRaven]

All that room on the underside of the alt mode and the feet just.. Fold in like that

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

_Legacy_ Elita-One and Minerva did the same thing too...

[@RatAndRaven]

@@ZachDy-xg9it I never got those as I was never interested in them, but that's still frustrating

[@chibipoe]

Found her today for a 70% off sale at local store, so I picked her up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong since her head won't do 360 for me. The hinge for the backpack blocks it and nothing I've been able to do has folded it down/away enough for the head to clear it when rotating.

[@xhairstargetmaster6338]

As always great review! I so wish @Hasbro would get rid of this evo crap & just bring back the bloosh ! That serves more of use!

[@redalert923]

12:00 Strongarm : no

[@gabrielchee8470]

3:34 i brought this up in a discord amd override and Nemesis don't have clear guns...

[@GVsleeepi]

A bit late but I just picked her up recently and my biggest gripe is just her backpack kinda just being there. The doors don’t extend far enough to really give the wing effect. And her shoulder pads are too obstructive

Where did you get the bow gun for your original Strongarm?

[@outcast4087]

"I like a woman who can bench press me" Mascot has a really fine taste. A certified man of culture right there.

[@JROD082384]

The new one is vastly better looking and superior in every way, imho.

[@TheSeventhDeadlyMatador]

I don't know why but her gun reminds me of the Auto 9 from the Robocop movies.

[@kdognicholson24]

I feel like hasbro could've done better retooling on the legs, like make that white panel fold into her legs instead of her backpack to make them bigger and make her feet fold into her legs in truck mold. I dont think I'll ever get over her being a remold.......................... but I still want one though

[@Earlinehernandez]

Hey emgo bro your cool ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lexibyday9504]

I liked Legends better when they were G1ifying all the characters. This doesn't look like a real vehicle, it looks like a toy

[@mechamanblade8465]

Even though the RID version is a bit dated, I think it did a better Strongarm than the Legacy version.

[@bleppyboo]

I can't agree. That mold's limitations always turned me off. But maybe I'm petty and just don't want kibble over her hands and a circular dent for her badge. Regardless I do think Legacy Strongarm is a better translation from the original model to the G1ified look. Pretty faithful to the source I think. Moreso than the Legacy Prime stuff 😞

[@toonistiny]

Anyone here who owned the original RID figure? How I loved that figure.

[@LFC4LIFEJEDI]

Hey emgo, your audio came out a little odd

[@TomMSTie1138]

More than usual?😉😋

[@AndrewSheldon-wx2xc]

I think the backpack could have been better, but that's just me.

[@Bunbiichuffn]

She seems too slim in bot mode IMO. In RID she was so bulky, like they were not afraid to make girls chunky or less pretty and I'm all for that. She doesn't look *terrible* here but I feel a little more kibble would actually have worked well for her! I'll never get used to Prime/Aligned characters with noses either. It does NOT work for her very well, but it's not as egregious as other bots in the line. The rest of the head and the alt mode are bangers though. Her alt-mode is the reason I'm so excited for mine to come along! Great review as always, cheers

[@Xingularity]

She looks good. She looks much better in alt mode. The RID version will do just fine for me...

[@robertmandl9326]

The original is way better - more robust, closer to the animation and easier to transform. In my opinion we have officially reached the "overuse" of the Elita mold. Good review; I´ll definitely skip this figure though. Easy pass.

[@BoisegangGaming]

I really wish that they wouldn't just use the same set of molds for female transformers. I get why they do, I just wish they didn't.

[@fulcrumagent]

This might honestly be my least favorite wave of legacy so far. Both in character choices and the figures themselves

[@TTHBLOX_]

I have no need for elita. Or others of this mold. But this one has won me over

At least he isn't calling her fat like last time, if he did she will break his back. She is a cool toy to have as a Elite-Guard member or the strong power house in the Wreckers nice work.

[@ZombieFBody]

The blockier proportions always turned me off of the original toy. I expect a little more feminine in my fembots so this is a get when or if I can find it in stores. I am a little tired of the Elita-1 mold being the go-to for fembots lately though.

[@bleppyboo]

It's been 3 mold tho. Elita, Minerva and Strongarm. Honestly it's all pretty balanced now than it used to be.

[@TJsVette]

Hard pass on this one...

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

The only things I want off this figure are the head, gun, and light bar. The rest is terrible. This mould just does not work for her or her alt mode AT ALL. Zero. Cero. Nil. She deserved her own mould. She's one of the few "full-bodied" fem-bots, and this waif is not her. PS- Those stubby wing doors might as well not be there.
